Prolia discontinuation

Hello, it is nice to finally find another person from Houston on this site. I too have searched for doctors with osteoporosis specialty to no avail. The site you mention does list 4 docs and 1 PA. Two are OB/gyn, Dr. Gagel has retired and Christina Yazdani with UT is a PA. I thought I might call her practice tomorrow.
I am currently seeing a Rheumatologist.
I have been on Prolia for 5 years. I took a break from Prolia for 3 months in Sept. due to dental implant, experienced an L-1 fracture a few days before I went back on Prolia. In my conversation w my Rheumotologist questioning fracture risk, and if I sh go off Prolia, she gave me an Evenity brochure and recommended a year of Evenity followed by Reclast for 3-6 years to buy me some time. I’ve had success and no side effects (except for elevated cholesterol) on Prolia and she thinks it’s a good fit for me. I am feeling uncertain with next step.
I would like an to understand and receive research based advice to help me with this next step. Meanwhile I am watching all the YouTube’s recommended on this site and those offered thru the Boston group.
Stay in touch and good luck.

Hi Reddogs,
You would think Houston would have someone who specializes in Osteoporosis but the pickings are few. I’m seeing an endocrinologist who mentioned Prolia on our first meeting. Not anxious to be on something for the rest of my life; I’m almost 79. So I’d like to consult with someone who is up to date on the various drugs and the sequencing to have them work. Let me know how things go with Christina. Maybe she’s the answer.
